BEST ANSWER:The bits came with the kit and haven't needed replacing. Also when I bought the jig I bought the set of assorted screws at the same time. I haven't had to get more yet but they are easily available at Rockler.

BEST ANSWER:The maximum thickness that the K4 will work with would be 1 1/2". Anything larger would not be able to fit between the clamp and the upright. However, with using either the step blocks or the portable base you can use the drill guide block with thicker material but the screw will not be centered.

Reviews

This is a really well engineered system and I concur with all of the five star reviews. As with all shop work there's always some danger you don't expect. I held the jig down on my bench grasping it with my fingers on the back side and not thinking about what's back there, managed to touch the very sharp exposed drill, slicing off a little bit of finger. Ouch! Don't make this mistake. Clamp it to the bench if at all possible

I have been using a very simple Craftsman pocket hole jig for about 6 years and have built a lot of things with it. I finally had to give up on it after I used it on my most recent project, a shoe rack-bench. The drill sleeves were so worn I &quot;blew out&quot; two holes on some 1&quot;x3/4&quot; wide stock. (I was still able to finish the job though.)I ordered this K4 kit and my eyes lit up as soon as I opened the box and saw all the features I had been missing all these years!! One of the important new features is that the drill-guide is adjustable up and down for the thickness of the workpiece, which are marked on the guide. Also a slot and markings on the base make it easy to adjust the drill-bit stop-collar. Also has a dust port. Finally, the drill-guide can be removed and used in hard-to-get-to locations. And since it can be removed, if the guide holes wear out, you can buy a replacement for the guide and not the whole system.

The jig was very easy to setup and use but there are some things you need to be aware of. 1st when drilling holes at the end of boards the jig may not support the board properly. You should plan to provide additional board support when drilling. 2nd the 6&quot; long driver bit is great when you have unlimited open space behind your drill. However when space is limited as in the 13.5&quot; (inside dimension) boxes I was making I could not get the bit to align with the screw angle. I tried a shorter 3&quot; length bit but found that the drill chuck contacted the board marring the work and again misaligning the bit. Finally I used a flexible bit extension. This worked well but required that the work be clamped to the bench as I needed both hands to operate the drill and guide the bit. 3rd watch for the pinch points on the toggle clamp.

I am by no means new to woodworking and I was pleased to try a new-to-me wood-joining tool. I watched the CD several times before any attempt at using the Kreg. First off I saw that the scale on the plastic body was not easy to see. I began practice runs using standard 1&quot; stock. When one stock is placed exactly at the end of another stock,on a 90 degree angle, the screw tips are visable on the edge. I backed off on hole depth but this did not solve this problem. Also the Kreg hole plugs would not even come close to fitting. It's like the angle of the drill guide holes are off. Next,I will back away from the edge of the stock receiving the screws and not place the stock with holes at the perfect 90 degree edge where the 2 pieces of wood come together.I have already double-checked all aspects, like length of screw, depth of drill setting, etc. I will continue to practice in hopes of better results. So far, I am not satisfied with this product and would not recommend it to anyone.

I am simply amazed at how this revolutionized assembly for me. It is very simple to use and dramatically speeds up assembly and improved accuracy of assembled joints. Product quality seems very high - after a couple thousand holes drilled my jig performs like the day I bought it. I predict it will last for years. Nice bonus : you can find hundreds of projects on the internet that incorporate the use of pocket holes screws.

I tried pocket screws on a ceiling dust collector/air cleaner carcase. I was surprised how smooth it went!It was a little uncanny, though. It seemed like it went together TOO FAST! It seemed like I was missing something. I DID! I missed waiting for any glue to dry! That was a real pleasant experience! I plan on using pocket screws more often now...it will be be the first thing I think of when thinking of building something! I LOVE it!There is only one peeve I have... all of the lettering, numbers, etc. on the jig are just plain... not white like you see inpictures! I've gotta figure a way to get them white! Way too hard to read...and the light must be just right before one (me) can read them!

I bought the K4 with the screw assortment. I showed it to family who were curious, not knowing what the contraption was. My wife asked me to build her a shelf unit for the garage so instead of screwing it together as usual I used the K4. In 3 hours I had her a nice looking (garage quality) shelf unit 5' X 7'. Curiosity has turned into amazement and my son-in-law wants to know where I got &quot;that thing&quot;. (I need to order a bag of those white pocket hole plugs because it looks like termites got to the shelf though).

I do theater set design and build sets for the Charlotte Players here in Port Charlotte. This tool and the magnetic bands have given us so much help it is quite incredible. We screw everything together so we can take it apart after the show is over and reuse it, so we are always handling screws and looking for quicker and better ways accomplish this task. Thanks to Rockler tools, my job is much simpler.

I'm already on my first project building a pocket hole quilting table. Super strong joints, no glue necessary. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for fast and easy assembly of a myriad of projects.

This is a great tool! I own the basic kit that I bought about 1 year ago and decided to upgrade to the more substantial benchtop model. This is one sturdy unit. I clamp mine down to my bench but it can be easily mounted permanantly. The measurements are there for you and it is a no fail system for secure and solid joinery. I highly recommend this tool.

Amazing! I tried the jig out the day I received it...so easy to use and the applications are MANY!!!! Now I can do my next project, a 7 drawer 24&quot; x 251/2&quot;x 30&quot; thread cabinet with confidence and professional results much quicker.Just thinking about getting this amazing jig?....don't hesitate any longer! GET IT!

I got my K4 and could not wait to use it. Went to the garage, opened it up, and put two 10x12x1/2 inch plywoods together. This thing works great, I am going to love working with the K4. Try it,later,larry.

Simple, Fast and Accurate. What more could you ask for. I used it to build cabinet face frames and I was able to mount the frame to the carcass right away. Everything came to get up and running including some screws and a DVD. Very happy with the tool.

I got tired of fussing around with different and complicated joining systems. I bought the K4 and was amazed with how quick and easy it was to set up and use. My first project was making a bakers rack for my daughter. Didn't use a nail number one for the major connections. An outstanding product that you will not be disappointed with. No shop should be without it!

As a retired high school woodshop teacher for thirty-three years I can tell you it was a breeze using the Kreg product. Thanks for making my retirement and the list of projects my wife wants me to construct for her a lot easier! Would highly recommend it for everyone.

Great tool! Easy to set up and use. Joints are tight and strong. Used it with stainless steel screws for building a new mahogany interior for my Boston Whaler. The angle clamp and face clamp are a must have for making almost any joint.

Ditto all the other praises of this tool. Short story is the Kreg Jig is essential to every wood worker's shop. It creates tight, professional looking joints with minimal effort. One thing to remember, though, is to ALWAYS use glue. Wood is a dynamic material and it moves with changes in temperature and humidity. Never forget glue! The screws are simply clamps that hold the pieces together while the glue dries. My Kreg jig is one of the most important tools in my shop.

This jig opened up a whole new world of joinery for me. Simple straight cuts is all it took to build this bed system in my garage. I used Kreg joints to build the entire cabinet as well as the drawers. No hard-to-cut dado's on the big side panels. I did not use any glue and the cabinets and drawers are very strong with only the Kreg screws. I am very happy with the ease of use and quality of the jig. I have used it on many projects and is an essential part of my woodshop.

Already had the handheld jig. After using this one, I know that I will not be using the old one very much. It is a great tool that really allows me to be creative and create strong joints. No woodshop is complete without one.

Best accessory I've bought in a long time, has already paid for itself with the time saved over having to dowel my rails and stiles. I have found that if you're using soft wood it would behoove you to set the clutch on your drill to a low setting, I use a Dewalt 18v and set the clutch to 5. this snugs the joinery very well but won't over counter sink the screwrecommend : YESIf I would give it 6 stars

I am new to woodworking and can't imagine building something without it. I'm glad I found this before I spent a lot of money on a biscut joiner. This cuts down on the need to measure for biscuts or dowels.This tool allows someone with the most basic woodworking skills,to add a professional touch to their jobs.
